Methods We performed ABPM for 24 h in 39 adolescents (26 male and 13 female) with T1DM followed in our Paediatric Department between January 2011 and December 2012. We compared the data of patients with those of overweight subjects and healthy controls.

Conclusions ABPM studies allows to identify patients at risk for the development of hypertension, who might benefit from the early introduction of anti-hypertensive therapies. In evaluating BP in T1DM and overweight subjects, ABPM should be used since a reduced dipping can indicate incipient hypertension.
